Three Ways to Avoid Being Fat Because of Marijuana Munchies

One of the main medical benefits of marijuana—used to help patients who’re losing weight due to chemotherapy, HIV, anorexia, or other appetite loss problems—is for increasing appetite. It’s called the “marijuana munchies.”

For many of us, getting high and eating is like getting high and listening to music, having sex, playing video games, watching movies, dancing, going to concerts. It’s part of the culture of using marijuana.

I decided that if I was going to have the munchies, I wouldn’t go to any junk food places, nor would I have ice cream, cookies, brownies, or other sugary, high-dairy, high in saturated fats, or otherwise fattening foods in the house.

I figured that if I didn’t have the fat foods around I couldn’t eat them.

But I admit I’ve had to restrain myself at times from rushing out to buy fat foods.

Once I even gave my car keys to a friend and told her not to give them back to me if she knew I was going to drive somewhere to buy food!

After I stopped buying fattening bad foods, I substituted fruit for them…until I learned that fruit is high in natural sugars and carbohydrates, and in excess can contribute to being overweight.

Now I rely mostly on salads, steamed veggies, raw cacao nibs, nuts and seeds, and hemp protein when I’m hungry.

I also fill my stomach with tea or zero-carb protein drinks so my stomach is satiated and I don’t feel so hungry.

This is a good dietary strategy whether you have marijuana munchies or not.

• Do active and healthy things when you get high, instead of eating. Exercise is an obvious choice.

If marijuana gives you the munchies, you have to use self-discipline and creativity to keep from pigging out too much.

One tactic is to pre-plan activities other than eating to keep you pleasurably occupied when you’ve used cannabis.

People often turn to food when they’re bored or lonely, even if they don’t have the munchies.

So before you get high, make a plan for exactly what you’re going to do so you don’t have to rely on eating.

Especially if you go dancing, play Frisbee, or do other exercise when you get stoned, or even cleaning the house or mowing the yard, you’re not just avoiding eating…you’re burning calories and enjoying social interaction.

Being overweight isn’t fun and can take years off your life. But yeah, I love food, so it’s a constant dilemma and struggle.

Some strains of marijuana make you so hungry that you feel tortured if you don’t eat.

As you identify those “marijuana munchies strains,” it’s good to avoid them, and to use the other tactics in this article so you’re a lean and fit stoner rather than a flabby one!
